Shakespeare's play Henry V has been the subject of a number of film adaptations of which Kenneth Branagh's 1989 film is acknowledged by nearly everyone as the best. A more recent film by Peter Babakitis is interesting but of much poorer quality. Laurence Olivier made a film version in 1944, largely for Propaganda purposes, which is very good but has been overshadowed by Branagh's. Robert Hardy made an excellent King Henry in the 1962 television series An Age of Kings, which was adapted from Shakespeare's plays. The version of Henry V in the recent BBC series The Hollow Crown is unfortunately not very good, although the rest of the series is.
All of these use costume and design reflecting the fifteenth century when the historical King Henry lived. So, although they are adaptations, and have been made recently, they are not "modern adaptations" in the same way that Sir Ian McKellen's 1995 version of Richard III, in which the setting is modernized to the 1930's, is. A rare production which modernized the setting was the English Shakespeare Company's production starring Michael Pennington and which was released to television as a part of The Wars of the Roses, a seven-part series. Here Henry gave his "Once more into the breach" speech while waving a M-16 and standing on a sandbagged trench.
He wrote Henry V around 1599.
Henry V of England believed he was the correct heir of the French throne. Charles VI inherited it through what was known as the Salic law however it was later discovered that it did not apply to France but to (modern day) Germany.

The Dauphin believes King Henry V is "vain, giddy, shallow, humorous youth," and one not to be feared.
No, Henry V did not fight against the French Revolution, as he lived much earlier. Henry V was King of England from 1413 to 1422 and is best known for his role in the Hundred Years' War against France. The French Revolution occurred later, from 1789 to 1799, long after Henry V's death. Therefore, he had no involvement in that historical event.
In my research I have found 7 different Henry V: -Henry V, Duke of Mecklenburg (1479-1552) -Henry V of England (1368-1422) -Henry V of Iron (1319-1369) -Henry V, Duke of Legnica (1248-1296) -Henry V, Count Palatin of the Rhine (1173-1227) -Henry V, Count of Luxembourg (1216-1281) -Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor (1081-1125)
